Jenson Button to leave no margin for error in title push

All other things being equal — which they are not in Formula One — most people in the paddock still believe that Jenson Button will drive to his first World Championship this season.

This weekend in Hungary, where temperatures are soaring, Button is hoping to return to the top of the podium and re-establish a firm hold on the title race after lacklustre performances at Silverstone and the N?rgburgring in Germany, where cool conditions turned his car into an also-ran.

Looking at his season, the remarkable feature is how few mistakes Button has made. The Briton, who enjoys a 21-point lead over Sebastian Vettel, of Red Bull, has made no errors of consequence, in the car or out of it.
